Following a daytime facility test in 2025, ground personnel reported "thuds as if something fallen and hit the ground". Helicopter [CALL SIGN 1] launched a search. Between 22:27 and 22:57, the rotorcraft crew (on NVGs), Witness 1 (naked eye) and a LP/OP observation post (on FLIR) all logged sequential orange orb formations "flaring up" and "flaring down in reverse order" — twos, then threes, then four-to-five in horizontal lines. Triangular formations appeared multiple times. At one point the orbs "appeared to break off from [CALL SIGN 1] and pursue the [MILITARY AIRCRAFT]".
Key quotes
“"Two large orbs appeared in close proximity to [CALL SIGN 1] to the west and above the rotor disk... a third orb flared up below the two, and then another one below that one until there were four or five in total below the original two. After a few seconds the orbs began to flare down in reverse order while appearing to be stationary until visual was lost."
